They may not be the crazy gang anymore and we certainly aren't the culture club at the moment but Liverpool playing in Red will be going for gold on the green. It's the first time the two clubs have met since the old Wimbledon morphed into MK Dons and so it should be an interesting FA Cup tie for both sides.
The 2014/15 FA Cup Third Round draw has thrown up some fascinating ties with last season's FA Cup Finalist's Hull City and Arsenal pitted against one another while AFC Wimbledon got their dream tie Liverpool in a game which will bring up great memories for the supporters having beaten them in the 1988 FA Cup Final with the winner scored from Lawrie Sanchez and a penalty saved for the first time in a Final with Dave Beasant denying John Aldridge an equalizer and ruining his 100% record from the spot into the bargain.

The drawfor the FA Cup Third Round has been made, and there are a number of glamor ties drawn including Manchester United vs Yeovil or Accrington, a rematch of the 2014 FA Cup final with Arsenal playing Hull, AFC Wimbledon vs Liverpool, Sunderland vs Leeds United, Blyth Spartans vs Birmingham City and many more.

AFC Wimbledon have been slapped with a charge for breaching Football League regulations during their fraught, ill-tempered home tie against MK Dons back in September.
Wimbledon steadfastly refused to acknowledge the 'Dons' part of their opponents' name, curtly referring to them as 'Milton Keynes' in the fixture listing on their club website while simply failing to reference them at all in the official match programme.
AFC Wimbledon played host to MK Dons in League One on Friday evening and the whole occasion was about as bitter and trenchant as you might expect.
The two splinter clubs met for the very first time earlier this year, when AFC laid on an acrimonious "welcome" for their visitors at Kingsmeadow byrefusing to acknowledge the 'Dons' part of Milton Keynes' club moniker, while also refusing chairman Peter Winkelman and his fellow executives access to the corporate section of the ground.
Tuesday night saw AFC Wimbledon'welcome' MK Dons to their Kingsmeadow ground for the first time sincethe two clubs acrimoniously splintered back in 2002.
As you might expect, Wimbledondidn't prove to beoverly gracious hosts for the League One encounter in fact, the entire eveningproved to be actively hostile.

In 2011, the company I work for chose to shut down their London office and move out of town. After much internal debate, I decided to switch with them. I had never thought I would leave the capital, regarding pretty much anything outside its orbit, aside from Brighton and a few northern cities, to be an incorrigible mix of 4x4s and farmers ready to unload their muskets upon the .
Haters are gonna hate and my goodness, this website has expounded a lot of column inches putting the boot into MK Dons in itssix and a half years of existence.
At times, we've attempted to raise the level of acrimony to an art form – much as When Saturday Comes have refused to include the Dons in its annual season previews, we have declined to let people forget .
[W]hen Vincent Tan, the Malaysian owner of Cardiff City, made the – apparently unilateral - decision to change the club's colours from blue to red, I posted a few remarks on Twitter intended to express some solidarity with those Cardiff supporters who felt that this change was the last straw. Some fans had even made the painful decision to stop going to watch their own club as a result.

Plans for AFC Wimbledon's new stadium at Plough Lane (Photo via Evening Standard)
Two years after first being granted planning permission, AFC Wimbledon have today finally been given the go ahead to start building a new stadium, just 250 yards down the road from their spiritual home at Plough Lane.
Peterborough forward Marcus Maddison filed a strong by which, of course, we mean 'bloody risible' contender for the 2017 Fallon d'Floor award in Sunday afternoon's 2-2 draw against AFC Wimbledon.
The stirring piece actually consisted of two dives, performed within 10 seconds of one another, in which Maddison first threw himself to the ground looking for a freekick before simulating a headbutt from Liam Trotter and hurling himself back down to terra firma in mock agony.
As you might have seen, AFC Wimbledon will be playing in the third tier of English football for the first time in their history (depending who you ask) after coming out on top in the League Two play-off final on Bank Holiday Monday.
The Dons won 2-0, thanks to a late goal apiece from Lyle Taylor and Adebayo Akinfenwa, who promptly revealed that he'd been released by the club shortly after the final whistle.
Shortly after Adebayo Akinfenwa had scored to help book AFC Wimbledon's place in the League Twoplay-off final on Wednesday night, Ian Holloway hadSky Sports anchor Scott Minto in stitches while the pair discussedthe striker and his legendarily "ample" frame.
While going over Akinfenwa's various merits, Holloway quipped "I heard he had a twin and he ate him", which duly reduced Minto to a giggling puddle of pink goo live on air.
This week has been a good one for AFC Wimbledon. After beating Plymouth Argyle 2 -0 on Monday, they have been promoted to League 1. This will be their 6th promotion in their very short existence. AFC Wimbledon has only been around for the past 14 years, and have been quite an underdog in the in industry.

London (AFP) AFC Wimbledon continued their fairytale rise up the English league system after beating Plymouth Argyle 2-0 in Monday's League Two play-off final at Wembley to reach the third tier.
The south London club was formed by supporters in 2002 after the old Wimbledon relocated to Milton Keynes, 56 miles (90kilometres) to the north, and was re-branded as Milton Keynes Dons.

Two summers ago, I stood on the stoop of a pub in Oxford and was interviewed over the telephone by the We Are Going Up podcast about the proposals to introduce reserve teams of Premier League clubs into the Football League.
Met with a volley of outbursts and snorts as it was, the idea was given short shrift in most quarters (aside from Mark Warburton – a man who .
Kicking off a week of divisional previews, we focus on the movers and shakers in this season's League 2: Cambridge, Portsmouth and Luton are each backed for automatic promotion whereas we suggest it could be a long season for supporters of Carlisle, Dagenham, Hartlepool, Leyton Orient, Morecambe and Newport.

A Steven Gerrard brace on Monday night booked Liverpool's place into the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 2-1 win at League Two opponents AFC Wimbledon.
The form guide says Liverpool are unbeaten in their last six, winning four, but their performances have not been as good as it sounds.
For the second year in a row AFC Wimbledon striker Adebayo Akinfenwa has been named FIFA's strongest man by EA Sports who release FIFA 15 on Friday with a frenzied dash for the new game expected!
And the 16 stone striker went some way about proofing his strength by bench pressing an Account Director at a recent Charity bash.
